Bug?

Hello, I’m contacting you because I have a problem. I’m playing as the French in version 11.0 and I’m barely earning any research points. This is a huge problem for grinding. Is it possible to fix this? Thank you in advance.

You gain most of your RP through playtime, i’m guessing you’re playing to impatiently and pushing straight into the enemy directly at match start and getting destroyed most of the time before you have time to do anything.

Play slower and more strategically, staying alive for 3-4 minutes and getting one kill will get you more RP compared to staying alive for 1 minute and getting one kill.

Edit:
you also seem to be bringing lower BR vehicles into higher BR matches, try to create a lineup of tanks of the same BR, the match you play will be around the BR of your highest BR vehicle in the lineup so if you bring lower BR vehicles they will have to fight the higher BR enemies.

In my lineup I have MSC, AMX-40, AMX-30 SUPER, but even when I get 5 or 6 kills I only earn between 1000 and 2000 XP.

So BR 11.0 , 10.0 and 9.3 .

The 10.0 might maybe handle things okay but a 9.3 fighting 11.0 tanks isn’t going to go well :P (It’s also matched plus/minus 1 BR so sometimes you will even face 12.0 vehicles).

Amount of destroyed enemies means way less than the amount of time played.

A player has made a guide on how SL and RP is calculated:

War Thunder Score, SL and RP reward calculation method revised edition

I don’t know if it’s still valid though.

what are you researching?

Okay, but all the tanks in my lineup are below rank 11.0.

You’re of course free to play how you want, but in general when it comes to ground speeding down one or two lines and skipping the others is going to make matches way harder in exchange for progressing downwards faster.

I personally don’t like that and instead progress all lines in parallel and only add a new higher BR vehicle to the line when i can add 3-4 of them att the same time, that way my lower BR vehicles don’t have to fight higher BR ones. So i personally play lineups where almost all vehicles are the same BR until i have unlocked enough vehicles to switch practically all my vehicles at the same time.

There are also some nations where some BR’s are stronger than others and some BR’s where a nation don’t have a lineup at all.


Okay, but look, my lineup is like this, and yet I get 5-6 kills like I said, but I hardly gain any XP, while, well, the vehicles are just below what I’m looking for. Isn’t there a solution? Because my XP has been dropping for 3 months and I’m struggling to grind.

The RP isn’t primarily based on kills though.

No, I adopted another play style three weeks ago, but I play without the other characters and only with the MSC, and by getting 1 kill and one capture I earn 2000 XP. It’s starting to update…

Sorry for your friend, I think they do the same to me, but I’m not going to let it happen and I’ll keep going, and yet it only happens to me with the French, I don’t understand.
